Best Baseball Infielder's Mitts of 2025

"I recently picked up the Rawlings Pro Lite Youth Baseball Mitt for my child, and I couldn't be happier with the quality and fit. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the leather is both soft and durable, perfect for young players. It fits my child’s hand securely, and breaking it in was a breeze. It’s made a real difference in my child’s catching skills and confidence on the field. I would highly recommend this mitt to any parent!"

"I bought the 12.25in Mike Trout glove for my 9-year-old, and I think I made the right choice. The leather is super soft and comfortable, and it broke in easily. The size seemed big at first, but it’s light and easy to use. It’s great for catching those outfield pop flies and grounders. For the price, we looked at many gloves, and this one stood out as the best option!"

"This glove is a massive upgrade for my 10U player. The shell is soft and supple, and the pre-break in is very good. The fit and finish are exactly what I expected, and my son is absolutely pleased with it. This is an excellent product that I would recommend!"

"When I was younger, I always chose Rawlings gloves, known as 'the finest in the field.' Now, at 70, I decided to return to softball, and this glove is fantastic. It has a perfect pocket for both softball and hardball. The leather quality is soft and high-quality. It was easy to break in, and at a fantastic price, it compares well to gloves that cost two to three hundred dollars. This model is versatile for both infield and outfield."

"I got this catcher's glove for my nine-year-old, and he absolutely loves it. The Rawlings quality is evident, although it does need some breaking in. This model appears to be more durable than another Rawlings mitt I can't recall the name of. Overall, it's a solid choice!"

"As a coach, I needed a new glove, and I’m impressed with the super nice leather. It came slightly broken in, but after applying some oil and giving it a good beating, it's just right now. I do have larger hands, so it feels a bit snug, but I can comfortably stick my pointer finger outside the hole, which is my preferred style."

"I only use this glove for catch, and it performs as expected. Quality is solid and durability is impressive. Just keep in mind that you will need to break it in."

"After losing my old glove, I purchased this one and am really glad I did. It fits great and has held up for three seasons of softball. I even use it as a base and a knee pad!"

"As a dad of a young baseball player, this glove is perfect for me. I broke it in easily using glove oil and a mallet. The leather is good quality, and I'm confident it will last for years. I just wished the color was more brownish."

"I absolutely love the high quality materials used in this product. It feels durable and well-made!"

"The customer service was fantastic! They really went above and beyond to help me."

"Using this product is so easy. I appreciate how user-friendly it is."

"I purchased two gloves, a 10” for my four-year-old and a 10.5” for my older child. They were a bit stiff at first, but after an hour of breaking in, they became suitable for my kids. The flexibility in the palm is impressive, and they have held up beautifully through a season and a half of play. Great quality leather at a low price!"

"For my small nine-year-old, I've tried many catcher's mitts, but this one stands out. It's nearly 80% broken in, making it perfect for younger players. My son felt comfortable using it immediately. While other mitts had their merits, my son preferred the Mizuno over the others due to its lighter weight and ease of catching."

"This glove has been fantastic for my son. He finds it comfortable and well-fitting. It performs great right out of the box, requiring minimal break-in time. It’s been a reliable choice for both practice and games!"

"I wanted something inexpensive with a deep pocket for my 8-year-old, and this glove is just perfect. The break-in process was quick, and he can easily squeeze it despite its size. It’s a first base mitt, and it has a great pocket to catch the balls. I really like how affordable it is for the quality. However, I know it may not last too long, but for the price, two seasons is more than enough."

"This glove was just right for my grandson. It arrived as a great gift for Christmas, and my husband was really impressed with its quality and price after checking other sites. It’s soft and already broken-in, making it easy for young players to use."

"I needed a cheap mitt to catch with my son. The Renegade mitt fit the bill nicely. It felt solid and lightweight. While it’s mostly leather, I noticed some pleather that might not hold up well over time. It was mostly broken in, so it’s ready to use right away, but I think for older kids, I’d recommend a sturdier option."

"I searched and searched for a glove for my son's 12-year-old all-star Little League Season. This Wilson A2000 glove is the perfect balance of stiff and flexible. It took some effort to break it in, but he's so happy with the glove. I was glad I went this route and I put a lot of effort into the selection."

"After about a month and a half with this glove, I can confidently say I love it. I used the hot water and mallet treatment on the first day and have been throwing a ball into it daily. It's now broken in nicely and feels like it was made for my hand. I find breaking it in enjoyable and somewhat therapeutic!"

"Great glove! It was exactly as I expected from the picture. The break-in process was much easier than anticipated."

“This glove is perfect for my 5-year-old. It fits well, is already broken in, and has a great price. I would recommend it instantly!”

“I bought this glove for my son, and it's the ideal size while being super sturdy.”

“My youngest is 4 and the only lefty; this glove has lasted through 3 T-ball seasons and countless play sessions without any issues!”
